Get chinked

Mandarin is ugly sounding. It doesn't help that it's usually spoke raspy and with anger very loud

Mandarin is to Japanese as Spanish is to Portuguese

its not always spoken loudy angrily it can be nice

of course not always

Too nasally is the problem, and they can't understand you if you don't do it. Fucking tonal languages

俺は日本語を好き

>too nasally
Cantonese doesn't have this problem <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

mandarin is also extremely bloated

doesn't it have like 2000 characters?

most asian languages are bloated tbh

sad.

2000? way more <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

bloaaaat

but they say 2000 is what you need to be proficient

ive heard you need 10,000 to get by living in china, 30,000 to be good and 50,000 to be a scholar but that was a couple of years ago and i could have smudged the numbers up

very bloated desu

literally no need for that many

you only need around 23 letters i reckon

However many characters the phonetic alphabet has, that's how many you need.

wrong, some letters are bloat

the english language is bloat

prove me wrong (you can't)

Chinese lacks way too many words compared to english

Even when you translate mandarin to Cantonese it reminds me of child's talk

You can get away with like 500 characters to be conversant in chinese

yeah, a lot of chinese words are just compounds of the most basic words

English is bloat, yes

You can't really make up words like in english
